In the quiet valley, only the sound of soft footsteps could be heard. Xiao Mei walked at the front, and the few of them passed through the grass in front of the pavilion. Finally, they stepped onto the green stone stairs that had been ravaged by time.
The stone stairs were covered with green platforms, and it was a little slippery to step on. However, it was fortunate that this did not hinder Xiao Mei and the others. After walking along the stone stairs for a while, they arrived in front of the library. They raised their heads and looked at the ancient horizontal board. A desolate feeling spread out from the horizontal board and lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time.
"Ahem!"
Xiao Mei's delicate cough suddenly sounded, waking the four people from their dazed state. The four of them were stunned and quickly moved their eyes away from the signboard.
"What a strange horizontal board. It actually has a magical power that can absorb people's minds. Why is this library pavilion filled with a mysterious aura?”Xiao Mei lowered her head and ignored the surprised looks of the elders behind her. She walked to the door and quietly waited for the door to open.
"Go in. The door will only be open for an hour. After an hour, regardless of whether you get what you need or not, you have to come out.”
On the left side of the five people, the sleeves of a gray-robed person were blown by a gentle breeze. Immediately, the tightly shut door slowly opened with a creaking sound, revealing a pitch-black tunnel inside.
The door was opened and an ancient desolate aura rushed over. Xiao Mei, who was leading the group, inhaled a deep breath of air. After which, she took the lead and stepped into the 'Book Collection Hall'. The few people behind her hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.
After the five of them entered the Book Collection Pavilion, the wide open door slowly closed with a creaking sound. Finally, it was tightly shut.
Xiao Mei did not stop when she heard the door close behind her. She continued to walk forward for nearly five minutes before a pale yellow light came from not far ahead. Xiao Mei could not help but quicken her pace. After a while, she finally passed through the pitch-black tunnel. A bright light shot over, causing Xiao Mei to slightly turn her head.
What appeared in front of Xiao Mei was an extremely spacious room. There were nearly ten energy barriers on the walls of the room. At this moment, these energy barriers were slowly emitting light, illuminating the room as if it was daytime.
After waiting in the room for a while, the others arrived one after another. One of them took a step forward and said with a smile,"Xiao Mei, when we enter the Inner Academy in the future, we must stick together. Although we have never entered the Inner Academy, I have inquired about it. If we want to obtain the best training conditions there, we must see whose fist is stronger. Therefore, if we are separated, us newcomers who have just entered will definitely be oppressed and bullied.”
This person was the second place of this batch and possessed the strength of a six star Da Dou Shi. On the surface, he appeared very serious, but his pair of somewhat small eyes could not help but sweep over Xiao Mei's sexy lovely body.
"Hehe, that's right. If the newcomers don't unite, they will be easily bullied.”Another man beside him also smiled and said,"However, I have a clan brother who has already stayed in the Inner Academy for four years. Once we enter, as long as junior Xiao Mei and the rest of you are with me, with him taking care of you, we will definitely be able to avoid the most difficult transition period for newcomers.”
"Hehe, I appreciate the good intentions of the seniors, but Teacher Ruo Lin has already helped me find some strength. It's formed by a senior called Han Yue, and they're all girls! Senior, do you want to go with me?”Xiao Mei thanked them innocently and then looked at another girl.
Hearing Xiao Mei's words, the girl who was not as beautiful as Xiao Mei but was still considered charming snorted coldly and ignored this junior who looked like a vixen no matter how she looked at her.
Seeing that the girl was ignoring her, Xiao Mei pouted innocently and aggrievedly. Then, under the burning gazes of the men, she lazily twisted her slender waist and looked at the energy cloaks.
After waiting for a while, a slight rushing wind sound suddenly appeared in the room. Although the sound was extremely soft, it was undoubtedly as loud as muffled thunder to Xiao Mei and the others. Immediately, their gazes hurriedly followed the sound and finally stopped on an energy barrier on the left.
"Something seems to be coming out from there?”Long Yi looked at the energy barrier and asked in a puzzled manner.
"Come out?" Everyone was slightly startled. Before they could reply, their hearts suddenly tightened. Before they could do anything, they saw a cluster of blue light suddenly shoot out from within the energy barrier. It immediately transformed into a ray of light that shot toward the five of them.
"Be careful!" Seeing the blue light shoot over, the few people who did not know its background hurriedly dodged. Xiao Mei smiled. She extended her hand and directly grabbed at the blue light.
"Tsk."
Her jade-like hand grabbed the blue light in front of everyone in the room. After which, the blue light slowly disappeared. Finally, a blue-colored scroll that was wrapped by an energy layer appeared in her hand.
"High Xuan Qi Method, Water Cloud Art?”Holding the blue scroll, Xiao Mei's hand tested it and passed through the energy layer without any hindrance. She looked at the words drawn on the surface of the scroll and could not help but softly read them out.
"Cultivation technique?" Everyone was startled when they heard Xiao Mei's voice. Soon after, they suddenly understood. It turned out that things were automatically spat out from these energy cloaks.
While Xiao Mei and the others were in a daze, a large number of rushing wind sounds once again sounded. Soon after, clusters of energy clusters of different colors and shapes were spat out from the energy barrier in all directions. After which, they shuttled back and forth within the enormous room, carrying with them the sound of rushing wind.
Joy surfaced on everyone's faces when they saw the energy clusters each carrying a different momentum.”An unknown person shouted. The five of them moved in unison and transformed into numerous shadows that swiftly flashed across the room. They repeatedly grabbed the light clusters that were shooting out from the surrounding energy barrier.
For a time, the entire room was filled with howls. Xiao Mei and the others were busy looking around. Once they found that the light orbs were not suitable for them, they quickly threw them away and continued to seize the time to snatch the treasures they liked.
Of course, our comrade Xiao Mei would not be like the others. Forget about the others. After obtaining the Qi Method and Dou Technique, a blue light flashed across Xiao Mei's eyes and the contents of the scroll were recorded in her mind. She then threw the scroll aside and grabbed the next one. After mobilizing the Dou Qi sealed in her Monster Core, Xiao Mei's strength had reached the Dou Ling class. As long as Xiao Mei wanted any light orbs, they would not escape Xiao Mei's hands.
Moreover, Xiao Mei had specifically targeted those energy clusters with large energy fluctuations. She had already discovered several Di Class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques, and even more Xuan Class ones.
"Brilliant Purple Wings, High Mystic."
Xiao Mei tossed the extremely light scroll in her hand. After thinking for a while, she tossed it in Dragon One's direction. Dragon One grasped it and pretended to look at it. Then, he put it away with an ecstatic expression.
The other three looked around but didn't say anything. They continued to look for their own.
When there were only ten minutes left before the one-hour limit to enter the library, Xiao Mei finally found what she wanted.
A red colored figure flashed down from the sky. Xiao Mei wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled as she looked at the Monster Core of a rank 6 Wind Attribute Magical Beast in her hand. This thing was extremely rare to Xiao Mei. With this Monster Core, Xiao Mei was confident that she would be able to reach Nalan Yanran and Ling Wei's level within three months. Moreover, adding on the ten plus High Xuan class Dou Techniques, one Middle Huang class Qi Method, three Huang class Dou Techniques, and some other Huang class or Xuan class Dou Techniques that she had just memorized, Xiao Mei was already considering whether she should form her own force.
……
"Creak."
The tightly shut ancient door was suddenly gently pulled open. Warm sunlight poured in through the crack of the door, shooting out a long trace of light in the pitch-black passage until the end of the light.
The door opened and Xiao Mei and the five others walked out one after another. They stood at the steps and looked at the lush green color in the valley. They could not help but sigh in relief. The atmosphere in the Book Collection Pavilion was really too heavy.
He muttered to himself in his heart.
A gray-robed person suddenly moved his sleeve slightly when he heard the sound of the door opening. Xiao Mei and the others immediately sensed a vast and mighty invisible energy sweeping over their bodies. The invisible energy seemed to only have the effect of scanning. Hence, it only lasted for a short ten seconds before it withdrew like a tide until it completely disappeared.
"Time's up. All of you can leave now. Remember, you are not to reveal anything about what happened here today, including the information inside the library pavilion.”A hoarse old voice slowly circled around the door.
"Yes, sir!" Hearing this, Xiao Mei and the others hurriedly lowered their heads and replied.
"Haha, are you all out?" Hu Gan, who had been standing in front of the pavilion, smiled when he saw the five people."You didn't return empty-handed, did you?"
Xiao Mei and the others nodded.
"That's good. Regardless of whether the things you get are to your liking or not, at least you've gained something.”Hu Gan smiled when he saw this. He bowed slightly to the two old monk like gray-robed people by the door and said,"Since these little fellows have already come out, then I won't disturb the two elders 'cultivation.”
The two gray-robed people still did not react to Hu Gan's words. Hu Gan did not mind. He waved his hand at Xiao Mei's group and said,"Follow me."
Xiao Mei's five man group bowed to the two gray-robed people, who were seated on the ground like wooden pillars, without moving an inch, after hearing Hu Gan's voice. They slowly walked down the green stone stairs, turned around, and arrived beside Hu Gan.
Hu Gan's eyes swept over the five of them. Only after seeing that none of them were injured did he once again cup his hands together to the two gray-robed people. He turned around and walked toward the invisible door frame that had been torn apart by the large invisible hand.
"Follow me closely and don't touch those spatial folds. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you.”Hu Gan tilted his head and warned when he was about to pass through the invisible door frame. After which, his upper body remained motionless as he took a step forward and stepped out of the door. Xiao Mei and the others carefully followed behind him, not daring to make the slightest movement.
An energy ripple slowly rose after safely passing through the invisible door frame. Xiao Mei turned her head around and saw that the invisible door frame, which had been torn apart, had already begun to slowly disappear. A moment later, an extremely tight spatial folded wall once again appeared, protecting the Book Collection Pavilion behind it.
His gaze skipped over those spatial folds that were difficult to detect and swept towards the entrance of the library pavilion. The two gray-robed figures who were originally sitting cross-legged had strangely disappeared at this moment…
……
Within the spacious study, Hu Gan eyed the walls of the study that were slowly closing. Only then did he turn around and smile at Xiao Mei and the five others who were standing in the room."Alright, all of you can be considered to have received your rewards. Next, you should rest for two days. After two days, all of you will need to enter the Inner Academy. At that time, you will have the chance to cry out in pain.”
Seeing Hu Gan's smiling manner, Xiao Mei and the others exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
"That's right, let me remind all of you once again. If a newcomer wants to not be bullied by those older students when they first enter the Inner Academy, it is unless your fist is stronger than theirs. Of course, the students who are able to enter the Inner Academy are basically the top students in the Outer Academy. Their training talent is not weak. Adding the unique training method of the Inner Academy, it is likely that it will be a little difficult for newcomers like you to catch up to their progress.”Hu Gan's gaze swept over the five people and said,"Therefore, I advise you to try your best to give up on your differences and cooperate with each other. Otherwise, the consequences will be quite unpleasant.”
"Don't tell me I'll be crippled and killed by those fellows?”Xiao Mei rolled her eyes. The others also didn't comment. To be able to be in the top five of the selection, which one of them wasn't capable?
"That won't be the case. After all, this is the academy, not a battlefield. However, the feeling of being trampled on by others with their strength isn't too good, right? Which one of you isn't arrogant?”Hu Gan smiled, shook his head and said.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can all return. Report here in two days. At that time, I will bring you all into the Inner Academy.”Hu Gan's face immediately stiffened when he saw that Xiao Mei still wanted to say something. He waved his hand at Xiao Mei and the others and said.
"Thank you for your reminder, Vice Principal.”The few of them nodded to each other. They bowed to Hu Gan and slowly withdrew.
After entering the library and obtaining the things she needed, Xiao Yu seemed to be particularly obsessed with Xiao Mei for the next two days. Instructor Ruo Lin was also very satisfied with Xiao Mei. Especially on the last day, Xiao Yu brought Xiao Mei to Xue Ni's place to play 'games' for the whole day. At night, she brought Xiao Mei to the back of the mountain to play some 'special' games in the wild.
"I feel like I'm really going to be played badly this time!”
This was Xiao Mei's last thought before she fell unconscious…
